The document outlines a point system for Streets University students to use when conducting interviews to find business sponsors. Students can earn a total of 85 points by properly introducing themselves, presenting what they are learning in the program and how a business could benefit from sponsoring them. Higher points are awarded for confidently answering questions, asking appropriate questions of the business owner, and properly asking for sponsorship and concluding the interview in a respectful manner. Doing well in these areas increases the probability of obtaining a business sponsor.

Based on the premise that as each of these steps are done to the best of a students
ability, the probability of getting a business to signup as their sponsor realistically
increases?
Doing well on these specific areas (at least reaching over a 59% rating) is like winning
half of the battle.
The rest of victory is now within your reach and basically determined on a students
technique & ability to closing the deal.
